There are several important features to seek out when choosing the right food.

A varied diet is important for your bird's mental stimulation and engagement. Another key element to look for in bird food is prebiotics and probiotics to support healthy digestion. Probiotics are a beneficial form of bacteria that live in the gut, while prebiotics nourishes them and help them thrive. By adding prebiotics and probiotics to your bird's diet, you can maintain a healthy balance of good bacteria to bad bacteria, keeping your bird's digestive system healthy.

Lastly, look for bird food that contains fruits and berries, vegetables, and sprouts. These are powerful antioxidants that support the immune system and overall health. Bird food high in antioxidants including vitamins A, C, and E, beta-carotene, lutein, and alpha lipoic acid will ensure a lifetime of well-being. Note that when you introduce a new bird food, there will be a transition period.
